British Rail Class 499 (London Underground)

British Rail Class 499 is a TOPS designation allocated to London Underground electric multiple units that operate on Network Rail tracks for part of their journey. The designation was previously used by a class of luggage vans on British Rail's Southern Region,[1] but was reused by Railtrack from 1994 for its current purpose. This does not involve any renumbering of the stock involved, and is only for electronic recording purposes.[2][1]

The designations are:
